Its all the buzz for these college boys. they are forever debating about it. Ive seen some wearing shirts in reference to the elect, it said something like "im so glad God Chose me(in bold letters), so i wouldnt have to decide(in small letters, fine print)"
all you hear about is Tulips and craziness.
I personally am not sure about the calvinist or armenian stuff, BUT i do believe that God died for EVERYONE and worrying about figuring out who is God's "elect"(if there even is such a thing) is just wasting time in what is imporant, (Aka: the Great Commision, Telling EVERYONE about Christ).
BUT some one said something the other day that got me wondering about, well, alot...aka, what yall believe.
one thing that triggered my curiosity is that a friend of mine mentioned that the ESV bible is referred to as the Calvinist Bible. and that MacArthur and John Piper are both Calvinist.... Um, last time i checked, I love my ESV bible, and so do many of you, and John Piper is on my top list of most amazing speakers/authors ever....as he is for many of you, or at least was the last time i checked.... Have i been a Calvinist all along and didn't even know it?
so, Tulip or not?

Becky, John Piper is a Calvinist, however just because he is doesn't mean you are, I believe that it is VERY IMPORTANT for every Christian, to know basic doctrine and theology, i think you would prosper greatly from studying up on TULIP and Calvinism, A great book to read is CHOSEN BY GOD, by RC SPROUL, this will help you understand better what they are talking about. It never hurts to be well imformed when it comes to the matters of grace and election.
